Monochrome Wanaka Tree Over Silent Lake

A high-contrast black-and-white landscape capturing the iconic lone Wanaka Tree standing in the still waters of Lake Wanaka, with the snow-dusted Southern Alps rising in the background. Wide-angle perspective with a low horizon and minimalist composition; the tree and its mirror-like reflection dominate the scene. Water smoothed with a long exposure to create a glassy surface, dramatic clouds overhead, deep blacks and bright whites, crisp bark texture, and subtle shoreline reeds. Timeless, tranquil, cinematic, and photorealistic.
